Your challenge is to put them in the order in which they occurred by year, earliest to latest. Answers at the bottom! - A) Prince Charles and Princess Diana officially open Live Aid, a worldwide rock concert at London’s Wembley Stadium organized to raise money for the relief of famine-stricken Africans.

- B) France defeats Mexico and the US defeats Belgium in the first-ever World Cup soccer matches, played simultaneously in Montevideo, Uruguay. The World Cup has since become the world’s most watched sporting event.

- D) The hashtag #BlackLivesMatter first appears after the acquittal of George Zimmerman, a Florida man who killed a Black teenager in Oakland and had faced 2nd-degree murder charges.
